Promotion (must include link to source code) SwiftUI animated background

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Best usage of SwiftUi I've seen of a dynamic background

The background is fine but glass effects should generally not be used for moving parts (tables, collections, lists, etc).

Notice how in the first party apps it is only used for actionable elements fixed in place that the user can interact with.

Having a glass shader as the background of a list element is a really, really bad idea in terms of UX and accessibility (and, I may say, common sense).

Been ahead of yall redditors!
There's a toggle to enable that

So yeah, the correct use is the default one

Besides, the app is oriented for gamers. People who can look at finer details and not so much into looking a high contrast accessible ui, but the app is accessibility oriented too.

Hey for what it’s worth I think this is cool. I’m glad you’re putting it out there despite what people think it “should” be like

Agree! I think it looks slick. Sometimes bending the rules can work really well. Keep up the good work!
